looks like nightly build has failed again .Compiling from git fails with below same as yesterday(after fresh checkout.)

Need to sudo make install libindi first then EQMod

yep,I followed that. Still same error. Do i need to purge anything?

You might have rouge INDI installation in /usr/local ?

deleted all indi stuff from /usr, purged the ppa's and tried installing from git , other error are gone now except for below

i'll wait for the nightly build to test further

something was caching badly on the pc(not sure ) ,directly copied eqmod.cpp from git to local and compiled it . Local testing works fine with goto's in the area (not even 1 star sync) Ill try it out in the field today or tomorrow. Thanks a lot again

Ok I still didn't get an answer to my question. Is the Home Position for AZ-GTi similar to that of an equatorial mount? i.e. It is looking North at the Celestial pole?

I use the mount in EQ mode using a wedge(attached pic) , so yes the home position is looking north. Not sure how it would work in AZ mode.

may be this post gives some idea for AZ mode.

www.cloudynights.com/topic/586532-new-sk...ifi-mount/?p=8873595

The azimuth is 0 degree (true north)
The altitude is 0 degree (horizontal), it is the home position.

Since it is necessary to correspond also to the encoder, recognition of the encoder step implemented in the SkyWatcher - Alt - AZ driver, alignment subsystem etc are also required.

There is no way for a driver to know if it is using an AltAz mount as AltAz or on an equatorial wedge. I think it might be necessary to introduce a switch to switch AltAz or EQ modes, at least to set the home position.

In the Synscan application, switch between EQ mount and ALTAZ.

If you can choose the encoder count for each mount, you can correspond to various mounts.

Yes, home position is north when the mount is powered up, but the scope may be pointing elwehere as the motor encoders are relative.
With the synscan app, I always enable the internal encoders after poweron, and tell the scope to goto (-90,90). Then the scope is aligned with the home position, and the internal decoders can be switched off. Some claim that there is less precision with the internal decoders - I don't know.
Using EQ wedge.
I use a twin scope bracket, so I need the black dowetail screw on the mount to point towards polaris - that's why I goto (-90,90)
